David has been with the company for 43 years and Margie for 23 years. Their knowledge and experience is a valuable resource for many of Adesso's customers. Whether you have design questions or are simply looking for hard to find material, David and Margie are here to help you in any way they can.
David was born and raised in Norfolk and served his apprenticeship at Adesso. Margie was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in northern Virginia.
